For the classics, capitalism and modernity were merged. Indeed, it can be said that sociology originates precisely as a critical analysis of the processes and effects of capitalism. For the founders of the discipline, defining the theoretical and epistemological apparatus of sociology and critically analysing the origins, developments and consequences of capitalist modernity were, therefore, two sides of the same "mission". This volume takes up that mission by updating it and problematising it: by discussing classical contributions in the light of the most recent social transformations; by separating theories, processes and phenomena (from digitalisation to the transformations of work); by extending the scope of the effects of capitalism to a variety of contiguous fields.

In Des sociétés animales: étude de psychologie comparée (1877) Alfred Espinas conceives an overall equivalence between the social and the biological organism. The aim of this essay is to complicate this reading, showing how the entire work is crossed by epistemological movements that weaken such an association. Particularly, by focusing on the political shifts of his organic sociology, a fundamental though forgotten moment in the history of the concept of society will be reconstructed.
